Is there a such thing as a legal weapon that can kill?

[amdhunter]

In NYC there is a new craze among teens. They'll attack anyone at random and try to scar them, or knock them out in one blow. Usually, it will start with them asking for the time or something mundane like that.

This is driving me mad. 2 people in my area were attacked or spit on in the last week. In NYC, it is impossible to get a conceal carry license, unless your work requires it, or you are incredibly rich or a politician.

There's seriously no way to defend yourself without breaking the law.

Is there a such thing as a legal weapon? I know folding knifes under 3" are allowed in NYC, but in the heat of being attacked, I don't think this is a safe option. I'd probably get more hurt myself trying to unflip it.

Anyone know? What could be an easily hide-able common object that can be used as a weapon?

a chair leg. hide it in your pants.

Stab them with a metal pen.

Beat them with a club.

Hit them with a pipe.

Push them into traffic.

 

[ThePresence]

Pepper spray?
I haven't heard of this craze yet, I'm in NYC at least 3 times a week.

Can you open carry?

 

[Fear No Evil]

Move to somewhere that doesn't strip away your rights.

 

[SlitheryDee]

Sock with a rock or other heavy item in it.

 

[Ruptga]

Mace, then kick the crap out of them.

 

[MotF Bane]

Martial arts.

And if you want a small folding knife, Kershaw Leek. 3" blade, speed safe opening, so you can do it blindfolded and one-handed. It's the threat more than the force.

 

[Wyndru]

Your fingers, not lethal, but you can go for the eyes. Just hook and pull. My old MMA instructor taught me that.

 

[TakeNoPrisoners]

Can you open carry?

That is a good joke!

Mace
pepper spray
Sjambok - doubles as a walking stick, and will tear the flesh off our target.

In case you do not know what a Sjambok is - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPQzC877O6Q

 

[brainhulk]

just open-carry a katana

 

[Jeeebus]

My penis.

Not yours. Mine.

We used to bring 3/4" diameter steel pipe that was 2' long to school in case we get into fights with other racial groups. Slip it underneath your clothing and take that shit out if anybody's causing you trouble.

Fox Labs Defender One. Not a gun, but expensive. About as close to a gun as you may get.

Most states are pretty good about catching stuff like that in their laws. ie: Blackjacks

 

[sourceninja]

Tactical pen, walking stick, Kubatons, peper spray, a super bright LED flashlight with solid metal body (blind then beat), fix blade knife (under 4 inches and not exposed). My advice is to start petitioning your state and city to change their laws so you can defend yourself properly.

 

[Geocentricity]

George Carlin postulated that you could probably beat someone to death with the Sunday NY Times.

How about a laser pointer and aim for the eyes?

Seriously though, you can buy 300mw laser pointers. I think that would be very very dangerous for your eye balls.

Thought those were illegal to buy in the US?

A few months ago I read a news article about a kid who was playing with his new laser pointer. He reflected the laser off a mirror and into his eye just for a second.

The doctors said the vision in that eye "might" return to normal in 3 - 4 months.

That will certainly keep it under the 3" limit.
